New functionality added to Odoo
The Adam Equipment scale driver has been moved into its own installable module so IoT boxes no longer mistake unidentified serial devices for Adam scales. Businesses using an Adam scale may need to install or enable this module manually after an IoT box restart, while other customers should see fewer setup issues with unrelated devices.
Original PR description
Community PR: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/223516 Backport of #91410, note that in stable the new module WILL NOT be installed automatically, meaning if someone is using an Adam scale it will break if their IoT box restarts. It was chosen to proceed anyways as it is unlikely anyone is using this setup in 18.4, and if they are it can be fixed by installing the module manually. Before this commit, the Adam Equipment serial scale driver was included by default on the IoT box. However, this causes issues as there is no way to detect the presence of one of these scales automatically. This caused any unidentified serial device to be registered as an Adam scale, leading to much confusion with customers, especially regarding setting up an FDM. After this commit, the Adam driver is moved into its own module. This way, only customers who actually need the driver will get it, and everyone else can benefit from not having it wrongly detect devices. task-4954021
